Which international companies are using image sliders?

The debate continues whether image sliders are good or bad for a website homepage.

Sliders (also known as image carousels) take up valuable space above the fold; don't produce a high click through rate; and can overwhelm readers with
information.

The lack of visitor control over an image slider is also up for discussion.

So how can you make an image slider work for you?

Walmart and PBS use manual scroll setting, keeping the
visitor in control. Disney and Burberry chose not to have
a slider above the fold, instead opting for image carousels below the fold for New and Trending items.

As of writing, Apple and Hilton don't use image carousels
at all on the homepage.

So which team are you? Would your website layout benefit from an image slider?
